2003 Grand Marquis

I need to find out whether or not I can install my own alternator for a 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis V-8. I have been looking online for some kind of schematic online that I can view without having to BUY it......

I am a PRETTY (wink wink) pretty woman and would appreciate any and all help you can give me on this matter.

Installing an altenator is not really difficult. here is a suggestion though. for 20 dollars you can go to Napa or Oreillys and get a repair manual that shows you step by step on how to remove and install the altenator it has diagrams also. this manual will aslo show how to do your own repairs on other things like tune ups replacing belts electrical problem fixes , and etc. this wilol save you shop labor that is pretty expensive these days. in the future if you have more complex problems that the book won't cover i or others will be free to answer any questions you have. hope this helps you good luck. please rate this solution...thanks

Firing order 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 Cylinder locations: Passenger side starting
at front of engine and going to the rear: 1-2-3-4 Driver side front to
rear: 5-6-7-8 This actually for a 1996 model, but I should imagine it is the same.

i found out that it grounds when u put it on the car so u dont need to hook anything to the ground connection. the power goes to the bigger connection. the feild is usually the longer wire of the 2 wires that are left. the third goes to the sta spot
